Planning Ahead

Today is a chemo day. Yep, gotta go in for a treatment this morning. I've learned to get as much done as I possibly can on the days I'm feeling great. Take yesterday, for example...it was a very productive day - grocery shopping, worked on Christmas gifts, etc. I'm going to put chicken in the crockpot after I get home from treatment this morning. That way supper will be ready with minimal effort.

How is everyone's week going so far? Are you all done with your Christmas preparations? I'm getting closer to being all finished.

I love putting food in the crockpot and letting it cook all day. I hope and pray that you will feel the presence of the Lord with you all day...and very little discomfort from the treatments.

My week is hectic. Since Tom and I decided to stay home for Christmas and not go away...there has been much activity. Laundry and getting Christmas decorations and tree into the house for setting up yesterday. Today...who knows...decorate 2 trees, cookie baking, chili, any number of different things, all needed to be attended to.

Praying for you today!!! Keith has still not passed that stone, it has been a long couple of days.Today will be a crockpot day here too....and I STILL have not been able to get out to get the stuff for my MIL scrapbook! Wish I was there to run over and borrow some of yours! Ok thinking of you tons!Glad you were able to get so much done yesterday!

Gotta love the crockpot! Thought you'd like to know I made my first attempt at making a handmade photo album ~ it's okay but sure doesn't look as good as your creations! I'll keep trying:) Prayers being said for you today.

Hey Michelle,Just dropping in to say that I am praying your treatment goes smoothly and with as few side effects as possible!

We're done with our Christmas shopping. Today I'm making 7 pans of the Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls to give away. I always have to save a couple of pans for us since they are dh's absolute favorite. I ONLY make them when I'm giving them away for that reason, lol......or we would eat them all!

The Good Times

From now on, I am going to grab the good times with both arms. I am going to walk outside and feel the sun on my face and learn to laugh, really laugh again. Most of all, I'm going to take the love that comes my way and hold on to it for dear life. Sometimes we don't need new scenery, just new eyes. ~Dawn Miller

Be An Encourager!

A smile of encouragement at the right moment may act like sunlight on a closed-up flower; it may be the turning point for a struggling life. ~Author Unknown

"Measuring A Life"

My deeds will be measured not by my youthful appearance... but by the concern lines on my forehead...
The laugh lines around my mouth...
and the chins from seeing what can be done
for those smaller than me or who have fallen.

I Am A Pink Warrior!

I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in July 2008. Since that time I've had a double mastectomy, reconstruction, chemo, radiation and several other surgeries. Fast forward a year...it's now July 2009 and I'm all done with treatment. My hair has grown back, I'm feeling great! GOD is good and life is good! I've gotten loads of support from family and friends. I'm living a "NEW NORMAL" these days and just very thankful to be here!!! Always keep a positive attitude and don't pass up an opportunity to show love and kindness to others. Don't live your life with regrets and enjoy each day!

About Me

Hello there ~ welcome to my blog! My name is Michelle. I've been married to a great guy for 20 years and we've been very blessed with 3 cool kids - a boy & 2 girls. My family means everything to me and I try to make our home a wonderful place to be. I LOVE to decorate and work on "trash to treasure" projects ~ that's what I can be found doing most of the time (um, sometimes other than what I'm SUPPOSED to be doing...like laundry, for instance! LOL) I think laughter is a vital part of life so I always try to choose to look at the humorous side of things...if life throws lemons your way, why not make lemonade, right?!
